Overwhelming

I feel sad.

I’m still not talking with my grandmother after our stupid fight. Well, I was going to talk to her but then she said bad things about me to my dad. I never wanted the fight to get that big. She should have just kept her mouth shut. But she chose to be such a childish person again. Oh well.

Then my little brother is getting emo lately possibly because of a girl. I’ve never seen him like this and I really never imagined. I actually feel annoyed by how he’s acting recently. It feels really weird when he talks to me about it. I wanna get some sense into him that he shouldn’t take this whole “puppy love” thing too seriously but he’s just doing the opposite. And I hate it when he asks questions like, “Is this *some gesture or what happened* normal?” I just told you not to take it too seriously, dude. Don’t go over-analyzing things. WTH? Why is my family like this? It’s like being a love fool is genetic.

And speaking of love fools, hello world! *Sigh* I just feel tired right now. Tired of being unprepared for review school. Tired of dealing with difficult people. Tired of thinking about unsure situations. Tired of thinking about my life. I thought I’d be happy to start all this review school thing but I’m losing. It’s like my life has no direction right now and I just wanna quit on everything. I’m losing self-worth and ego again.

I hate it when I’m like this. When I feel overly conscious about myself. When I feel so vulnerable. When I feel so stupid. I hate it when I’m… *sigh*.

Hello Dream Guy

I like to write a series about my plans in life. So that I wouldn’t look like I’ve played life by just going with the flow and letting things happen. I want a criteria and a guide that I can look back to when life seems shitty and not the way it’s supposed to be.

So let me start of with my dream guy. :D hihi. *kilig*

Five inches taller than me would be good. I mean, 5′ 7″, that’s not so much to ask for, right? I want someone who could sweep me off my feet – figuratively and literally. :D haha! Speaking of physical features, I want someone who look clean. Not necessarily handsome, but presentable. Though handsome *as long as not more good-looking than me* is a bonus. :D

He has to be pathetically in love with me. But not to the point that he freaks me out like he’s a stalker. :( I hate that. A little drama in love would be sweet. :)

As for other traits, I want someone who’s smart, thoughtful, and industrious. Someone who also has dreams of his own, and dreams he can share with me. :) Most importantly, is that he is working to fulfill his and our dreams.

And I easily fall for people with a good sense of humor. Though most of the time I end up getting in trouble with these kind of people. :p Maybe a corni person would do as long as he still tries to make me laugh and smile. :)

I need someone who will understand me and my other dreams and priorities in life. I need someone who’ll be patient with me. So he must also be able to handle himself and be strong for us as well.

Hm, I guess that’s it for now. I’ll just check back again if my criteria changed. Haha.

Hello, Dream Guy. I hope to see you soon. :”)

Let It All Out

This is for my insecurities that get the best of me when I’m weak. And this is for the weakness I feel when I’m with you.

This is for the times I felt you didn’t want me. For the time you pushed me away. For the time you didn’t include me. For the time I felt you were embarrassed about me.

This is for the times that I felt bad about myself, that I’ve noticed little things that had never bothered me before, that I had to take up more courage than I can actually handle.

This is for the time that I had to wait. And for the time I have to wait some more.

Family Issues

Shucks. Nakakastress ang pamilya ko nang bongga. Hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko sa kanila. Nakakaiinis kapag naiisip ko na ganito ang pamilya ko. Kasi kahit may mga kuwento dyan na may mga tao na walang-wala noon, dahil sa pagsisikap ay may nararating sila, hindi naman nababanggit dun na dysfunctional din ang pamilya nila amidst that. In fact, if you observe more, most successful people get there dahil sa outstanding support at way ng pagpapalaki sa kanila ng magulang nila and the environment where they grew up. Shucks. Nakakaasar lang yung feeling na andami mong pangarap hindi lang para sa sarili mo pero para sa buong pamilya mo dahil kahit papaano’y mahal mo pa rin sila pero narerealize mo lang in the end na hindi naman sila nakiki-cooperate. In the end, ako lang ang maghihirap at aasa lang lahat sila sakin. Shet. At alam mo ba kung anong ugat ng saloobin kong ito? Natrigger lang naman sya kani-kanina lang ng kapatid kong hindi marunong or at least tamad lang talaga kumilos para maghanda ng pagkain nya or for anything for that matter. Shet. Para rin syang kuya ko na walang ginawa kundi utusan ako na magluto ng pagkain pag pinagligpitan na sya dito or itimpla sya ng juice pag lasing sya. Ano bang tingin ng mga kapatid ko sakin? Or ano bang tingin nila sa mga sarili nila ha? Josko, eh kung ganito lang naman kami habang buhay eh magpapakalayo-layo na lang ako sa kanila. Ayoko nang madamay sa kalokohang ito ng pamilya ko. Punyemas. Saan ka naman nakakita ng ganitong pamilya ha? Parang wala silang ibang inattract kundi problema. Grrrr. Pati tuloy ako nahahawa at nadadamay. Why oh why? Ayoko na ng ganitong situation. Mahina pa naman ang loob ko tapos ganito pa. Huhu. Pinanghihinaan ako ng loob. Ayoko na. Suko na ko.

Papa’s Burgeria Tips

Another challenging and fun game from the Papa Louie story, Papa’s Burgeria is a speed and accuracy game. Created by Flipline studios, this game can also be played here: http://www.123-games.net/games/papas-burgeria.

Introduction. As you start the game, it is very important to pay attention to the tutorial. Familiarize yourself with the order, grilling, and building stations since you will often switch through these during a round. Remember too that your overall score are divided equally to these three criteria. Also, take note of how you attain points through customer satisfaction and how you earn tips.

Grilling Patties. Let’s start off with this since it is the tricky part of the game. Customers can order a rare, medium, or well-done patty. You should take into consideration that this is a patty and you need to cook it on both sides! In the order sheet, you will see up to what point you should cook a certain patty. The trick is you need to cook the patty evenly so flip it midway the specified time allotment. You can also observe that the color of the patty changes depending on how well it is cooked and for an evenly cooked patty, you should see that the both sides are of the same shade of brown. You can cook up to 12 patties at a time and I suggest you do especially when you are on the higher levels when customers just flow! The only problem is, the patties also become cold so you may want to save up on your tips to buy a heat lamp. Another tip is that customers generally want medium patties so you can safely stock on these.

Orders. Taking orders is pretty easy but take note, once you get an order, you cannot switch between stations. So make sure your patties are not due when you take an order which usually lasts for around 5 seconds depending on the order. To have better order points, do not take too long to take an order. A bell upgrade can be useful for this. Also, posters, newspapers, gum, TV, or a coffee station would help lessen customers’ anxiety for a better order score. Keep your order tickets properly too! Once you take in more customers, it’s kinda hard to track which you should be serving first and which you are currently serving. Use the ticket wire well.

Building Burgers. This is the easiest part for me since you just have to stack the ingredients depending on how the order ticket shows it. The key is a perfect balance of accuracy and speed so that the burger you build will be presentable and correct to the order ticket! When you make a wrong move, you can place the ingredients back but once you put on sauce, it cannot be undone so be careful! Also, putting the top part of the bun means your finished and you cannot change the burger any longer. Be sure to also put the correct order ticket to your burger or else your score will be zero. Each customer has a specific kind of order so you will be familiarized with this and it will be easier as the game progresses.

Customers. Each customer has a specific order so you can familiarize this already and maybe prepare ahead of time. In the earlier levels, they normally order a medium patty, then a few will order rare and then well-done as the game progresses. Your customers will each give you a star rating when they’re satisfied with your service and when it reaches 5, they move on to a higher level of loyalty and give you more tips!

Shifting Between Stations. This is a skill required in this kind of game. You should manage your time spent in each station wisely. Do not spend your time too much on the build area or else your customers will get angry that you are not taking their orders, or your patties will be burnt! Of course, upgrades can keep you alert when you need to switch stations but you should also practice and give your own judgment on how to allocate time in each area.

Upgrades. Upgrades are your way to survive this game so choose wisely where you spend your tips on! Your decision will mostly have trade-offs so assess what you need to have first before all else. Like in my case, I preferred to save up for the heat lamp first since I want to grill and stock up on patties even before people order. But in the end, as customers increased, I had trouble with keeping them happy while waiting so I splurged on posters, newspaper, and a coffee station. I preferred to be hands-on when grilling and also got the hang of switching stations to check on new customers so I didn’t mind not having timers or bells. Again, it’s all up to your style of playing!

Good luck! :D
